Tracing Allocations

Using the Trace Allocations feature, you can visually follow the flow of funds through the model from beginning to end.

From any selected member intersection, you can move through the entire financial model:

  • Backward to view the source members that contributed to the value for the intersection, and the amount that each member contributed.

  • Forward to view the destination members to which the value for the intersection is allocated, and how much is allocated to each member.

All related assignments are displayed. You can customize the information that you choose to display. You can also export the trace allocation images to another location, to be viewed or printed as required.

By default, calculations are performed using the Reporting database because the data is automatically aggregated.

Refer to these sections for instructions on tracing allocations:
